The Vacant Voyager

Those who have never seen a living Martian can scarcely imagine the strange horror of its appearance. The peculiar V-shaped mouth with its pointed upper lip, the absence of brow ridges, the absence of a chin beneath.

The wedgelike lower lip, the incessant quivering of this mouth, the Gorgon groups of tentacles, the tumultuous breathing of the lungs in a strange atmosphere, the evident heaviness and painfulness of movement due to the greater gravitational energy of the earth–above all, the extraordinary intensity of the immense eyes–were at once vital, intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous.

Find Keywords that Buyers Actually Search For

The idea behind getting the right keyword is to choose one that:

has decent search volume,

is not too competitive,

and is relevant to your item.

I’m sure you’ve been given this advice before, but today I’ll show you how to go about doing this with some of my favorite tools. Most of these tools are fairly easy to use, and you can easily find lots of tutorials and how-to guides on using them.

Gather Keyword Ideas

You might have noticed that when you type something into a Google search, you’re given some suggestions. These are trending and popular searches.

Here are some tools that can help you to use these suggestions to get keyword ideas:

Übersuggest will help you export the suggestions into an Excel file, where you can use Adwords to pull up the search volume for those keywords.

Soovle will help you get some keyword ideas by pulling suggestions from various services.

Google Trends will let you see keywords that are becoming popular, and try and capitalize on them before everyone tries to rank on them.
